Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Levi Cavalli Leads Hayfork over Loyalton
Hayfork was led to victory by Levi Cavalli, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Cavalli rushed for 286 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 82 yards.
Cavalli might have his next game, a road matchup with Chester, circled on his calendar. When Cavalli last faced the Volcanoes two weeks ago, he rushed for 232 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries.

Big Game from Silva As Tulelake Won 64-8
Xavier Silva's big game helped extend Tulelake's winning streak to three on Friday. Silva was dynamite, rushing for 88 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, while also throwing for 84 yards and a touchdown on only five passes.
Silva must have Burney's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Silva rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hayfork Wins 20th-Straight Thanks to Devin Nanez
Devin Nanez's big game helped extend Hayfork's winning streak to 20 on Saturday. Nanez rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Those 160 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Nanez is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Chester on Friday. Two weeks ago (the last time Nanez saw the Volcanoes), he rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.

Danny Garcia Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Tulelake got the W thanks in part to Danny Garcia playing the best football he has all season. Garcia rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended a pass.
Burney had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Garcia it was a similar story. When Garcia last faced the Raiders back in October of 2023, he rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per carry.

Callan Wiseman Delivers Electric Effort Vs Plumas Charter
Rounding off our Top Five is Callan Wiseman of Chester. Wiseman rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles.
Chester is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Wiseman and Chester will venture away from home to take on Hayfork at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
